318 Power, with real street manners ?
My 318 ran a best of 13.54 in good air shifting at 4800. It typically ran 13.7’s
Bone stock 1969 318 Block. Never bored. Stock factory 69 pistons & rods. Crank turned .010 under. Block had a ridge in each cylinder. Cut the ridge out & new rings & bearing (iron rings) file fit.
Heads where bone stock 1972 360 heads with the 1.88 intake. All I did was lap the valves. No porting or guide work. MOPAR Performance springs with dampener. MOPAR .455 lift cam. 218/222 duration. MOPAR double roller timing set. Swap meet $50 Eddy CH4B intake. Did nothing to it. Eddy 600 carb. Never took the air horn off it. 904 trans with Chetta manual V/B & Kevlar bands. TCI deep pan. Cheapo Advance Auto ATF, Stock 1969 converter, 8 3/4 rear with a 4.10 & spool.
The car is where I spent some money.
1969 Satellite that was under 2900 pounds wet. 10 gallon fuel cell. 5 quarts of oil in stock oil pan. 29X10.5 Hoosier bias tires. VW Tire’s up front. The car has an all fiberglass front, custom tin dash, glass rear bumper, all factory glass except Lexan 1/4 windows. Nearly every bolt on the car was shortened & rifled.
I probably should have shifted at 5500. The few times I did it ran a tenth quicker. I was just worried I hurt the junk yard motor with 40 year old pistons.
